Long shore current makes it a challenge to stay up wind in marginal conditions, but the wave riding is sweet. Nice shallow beach at low and average depth at high tide. This is the transition area from pebbly to sandy beach, becoming sandier closer to Christchurch. Some small dunes you can shelter behind while rigging if required. The NE is sideonshore and can be anything from a light breeze to grab that tiny kite and hold on. And is generally the wind condition you'd get kiting here in. And the wind (NE) is normally stronger here than at the beach in Christchurch. Water temp in summer is in the 20°C's. Winter is in the mid teens. Summer air temp about 25°C. Winter air temp averages 15°C. Water: Shallow, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Shop. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
